From the perspective of time, Lu Su's bed-to-strategy to Sun Quan was 7 years earlier than Zhuge Liang's longzhong-to-strategy to Liu Bei, Lu Su's pair on the bed occurred in 200 AD, and Zhuge Liang's longzhong pair occurred in 207 AD. Of course, the time on the bed was earlier, because Lu Su met Sun Quan 7 years earlier than Zhuge Liang met Liu Bei.
From the perspective of age, when the 29-year-old Lu Su told the 19-year-old Sun Quan about the situation in the world and the establishment of the imperial industry, Sun Quan's ambitions were obviously stimulated by Lu Su's strategy, and similarly, when the 27-year-old Zhuge Liang said to the 47-year-old Liu Bei that there was Jingyi and the Revival of the Han Room, Liu Bei suddenly realized and was enlightened.
Longzhong on strategy
But one thing is very important, sun quan was only 19 years old, it was the dawn of his life to create a career, and Liu Bei was 47 years old, according to the ancients, it was almost the twilight period of the dying, and then Zhuge Liang still firmly believed that Liu Bei would succeed, including Liu Bei himself was also convinced that he would succeed, which was an extremely powerful psychology.
From the perspective of power, Lu Su's lord Gongsun Quan was a young lord who had just taken over the territory of the six counties of Jiangdong, although the situation in the territory was not good, and the lord was suspicious of the country, but Sun Quan had the land of the six counties of Jiangdong, tens of thousands of troops, and nearly one million people, Sun Quan had the strength to dominate the world, while Zhuge Liang's lord Liu Bei only lived under Liu Biao's fence, had no territory, no strength, only Guan Yu, Zhang Fei, Zhao Yun, and thousands of thin troops, and even the mercenary forces that had to rely on Liu Biao for grain supply.
If Sun Quan is a visible potential star, then Liu Bei is a potential stock that no one attaches importance to, because Sun Quan's strength is really visible, but Liu Bei's strength is not visible to few people, from this aspect, Zhuge Liang's vision is much stronger than Lu Su.
Zhuge Liang and Lu Su
Judging from the results, Longzhong only implemented half of the strategic Liu Bei, and it was almost necessary to achieve the strategic goal, from Zhuge Liang's proposal of the Longzhong strategy in 207 AD, to Liu Bei's title of King of Hanzhong in 219 AD, in just 12 years, his power reached the peak of his political career and completed the strategic goal across Jingyi, the next step should be to expect changes in the world, the two roads of the Northern Expedition, the development of the power of Liu Bei's regime, and the living escape is the true portrayal of longzhong pairs, so Longzhong pair is a highly enforceable strategy.
And the tatami strategy from Lu Su in 200 years, to Lu Su's death in 217, 17 years of time, Sun Quan almost no progress, until 219 AD Sun Quan snatched the three counties of Jingzhou from Guan Yu by sneak attack, only the first time along the tatami pair took a step along the bed, and Sun Quan's implementation of the strategy of sneaking attack on Jingzhou was a strategy that Lu Su vigorously opposed, Sun Quan did not basically achieve Lu Su's strategy of being on the bed until 229 AD, but all this took 29 years. It also depends on Sun Quan to play all kinds of political conspiracies and tricks behind his back.
Zhuge Liang and Liu Bei
Finally, let's talk about how the content of Longzhong is different from the content of the bed:
Longzhong clearly proposed strategic goals for Liu Bei:
Revival of the Han Room
。
Longzhong clearly put forward a political program:
Across Jingzhou and Yizhou, unite Sun Quan and the four foreign tribes, improve internal affairs and cultivate talents, wait for changes in the world externally, and then go north in two ways to seize the world
The most important reason for Longzhong's almost success is that Longzhong's strategic operability is extremely strong, such as crossing Jingyi, Zhuge Liang is very keen to see that Liu Biao's Jingzhou cannot be defended, Liu Zhang's Yizhou is also unable to hold, Jingzhou and Yizhou are Zhuge Lianglong's core territory, from Liu Bei taking the four counties of Jingnan after the Battle of Chibi, to borrowing Nan County, Xiangshui confronting Liu Bei to divide Changsha County and Guiyang County to return to Sun Quan, and finally relying on Guan Yu of the three counties of Jingzhou can still win the initial victory in the Battle of Xiangfan. The reason behind this is Zhuge Liang's keen political ability, if Liu Bei listens to Zhuge Liang's words, Longzhong is very likely to achieve it, but Liu Bei began to have a hot head when his power reached its peak, and irrationally made the decision to attack Shangyong and attack Xiangfan.
Lu Su and Sun Quan
It was precisely because of a battle of Xiangfan that Liu Bei's regime had lost its strength and ability to dominate the world from then on, and Liu Bei could have prevented Guan Yu from continuing to expand the Battle of Xiangfan, but he did not, although Liu Bei had his own considerations, but in the later period Liu Bei had long deviated from the strategy of Longzhong, even Zhuge Liang, Liu Bei was also a little distant, otherwise Zhuge Liang would not have said that if Fa Zheng had been, he would not have let Liu Bei launch the Battle of Yiling, or would not have let Liu Bei lose so badly.
A good strategy, if there is no strong execution, then the final result is also impossible to achieve, Liu Bei for various reasons led to the occurrence of the Battle of Xiangfan, and then Sun Quan took this opportunity to steal the three counties of Jingzhou, and then Liu Bei was defeated in Yiling, before and after several battles, Liu Bei almost lost the strength accumulated since the Battle of Chibi, so that the Shu Han regime can only be in a corner of peace, Longzhong did not succeed, do not blame Zhuge Liang, only Blame Liu Bei.
Lu Su's bed is, strictly speaking, not a strategy, but only a political line
The reason for the pair on the bed came from Sun Quan saying to Lu Su that he wanted to be a figure like the Duke of Qi Huan, similar to the Spring and Autumn Overlord of Zun Wang, and Lu Su immediately corrected Sun Quan's idea, telling Sun Quan that the Han Dynasty was not prosperous, and that you should not maintain the Han Dynasty, but should establish a new dynasty to unify the world, which is the political line.
Lu Su then told Sun Quan that the political line was:
Attack Jingzhou, all the Yangtze River, first with Cao Cao to rule the river, then with Cao Cao to compete for the world, and finally unify the world.
Lu Su and Zhuge Liang
Sun Quan is located in the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River, the Jiangdong regime has changed who will also know that the life gate of Jiangdong is actually the Yangtze River, the middle and lower reaches of the Yangtze River are controlled by Sun Quan, then naturally it is necessary to develop to the middle and upper reaches, naturally to attack Jingzhou, and then occupy the entire Yangtze River, and Cao Cao to rule the river, there is no specific political program on the bed, just tell Sun Quan that the final outcome is to establish himself as emperor, and then unify the world, as for how the road to unifying the world should go, Lu Su did not say, how the strategy should be planned, Lu Su did not say.
There is no specific content on the bed, there is no possibility of realization, Sun Quan spent a lifetime, there is no full view of the Yangtze River, and Cao Cao to rule the river, there is no possibility of unifying the world, this is the short-sightedness of the pair on the bed, so, no matter from which aspect, Longzhong pair is far better than the bed pair, not just Zhuge Liang than Lu Su is so simple.
